Jaimee again!

Sorry everyone! I don't know what I was reading, but it wasn't what 
JDR typed!

I can see where you would draw a parallel with this!!! I don't know 
what I was thinking!

But, now pondering what you really typed, does Hermione ever act 
bothered by Luna's interest (if you can call it that) in Ron?

I think Hermione *knows* that Ron feels possesive of her, but I 
thought his behavior about girls having to be good-looking to ask 
them to the ball and his slobbering over Fleur (both in GoF) 
bothered Hermione more than anything that happens with Luna in Book 
5!!! (The only thing that seems to me to bother Hermione about Luna 
is the way Luna believes that make-believe creatures really 
exist...which made me think of Prof. McGonagall's irritation with 
Trewlany at Christmas in PoA....)

Sorry again for my earlier misunderstanding and the corresponding 
post!!
